Say prayers ladies---MAJOR earthquake in Peru!!! **Family Update!**

please ladies--say prayers tonite -- at 7:30 pm an earthquake that measured 7.5 on the richter scale hit Peru---by the coast about 100 miles southeast of Lima. there is a huge fear of a tsunami---and we have been unable to get in contact with my family out there

please say a prayer for those who may have perished and others who are injured




**UPDATE**: my dad is on the phone right now with his brother who lives in Trujillo (much farther north from Lima--about a 6 hour drive)--he felt the quake too.

My dad was able to speak with my Tia Amelia this morning--and she was still a little in shock of it all. She said that she was in her apartment, and she lives on the 4th floor...and when the quake happened everything started shaking tremendously...tvs fell--book cases--and she just kept repeating 'It lasted forever...it lasted forever' all she could do was get on her knees and pray. (She is very spiritual) She went to my grandmother's house -- where my Tia Violeta and her husband & son were---and they were taking care of my very elderly grandmother. They all sustained minor injuries---some bruises & cuts from falling objects and their homes suffered some damage....but the most important thing is that they are okay.

Thank you for your prayers ladies---this is such a scary thing. Its so terrible when you are an 8 hour plane ride away from those you love and can't get in touch! But I thank you for sending out prayers and thoughts for everyone.

For anyone else waiting to hear from family and/or friends, the phone lines are starting to lighten up and I hope you get thru and get good news as well.

yes---i was watching a live feed off of cnn.com from the channel 5 news in lima--and the president has told ppl in coastal areas to evacuate in case of a tsunami. lima is very close to the coast--and has a large population

i really hate that we can't in contact with my grandma, aunts & uncles and cousins!
